The administration of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the Detroit City Council gave a $10 million photocopier contract to a former Democratic state House colleague of Kilpatrick's who is not authorized to sell or service the copiers involved, city records and interviews show.

Today, Councilman Kwame Kenyatta will ask Mayor Kenneth Cockrel Jr. and the City Council to rescind the contract awarded last June to Olive Delivery Service LLC, owned by former state Rep. Ken Daniels, D-Detroit.

"We've got a lot of cleaning up to do," after the resignation of Kilpatrick following his guilty plea to felony obstruction of justice charges, Kenyatta said in an interview Wednesday.

"This was a bogus contract from the very beginning, to help your friends out."
